Unser Museum operates better with the Futura Open Race Car Trailer

Motorsport Legends, Al Unser and his son Al Unser Jr. have been using their Futura aluminum car trailer to load and move Indy cars at Unser Museum in Albuquerque, NM for the past three years. In 2017, Al Unser Jr. traveled to New Zealand for the iconic Leadfoot Motorsports Festival in Coromandel and discussed how he discovered Futura aluminum car trailers and how it now makes a huge difference of they way they operate at the museum.

“I saw this trailer sitting low to the ground and fully aluminum. I walked up and asked ‘Tell me about this trailer’ and once the Futura guys started talking to me about the trailer, how easy it is winching the car up and down, I thought ‘oh this would be perfect for the museum we have in New Mexico.’ So we got one for the museum. It loads our Indy cars which are an inch off the ground. That was the main thing that really attracted me to this trailer.” - Al Unser Jr.

The Unser Racing Museum showcases epic moments in the exciting world of racing and allows customers to take a step back into history with the Unser family. When Al Unser started using his Futura aluminum car trailer at the museum, it completely changed the way the museum operates. It allows them to move their most prized racing vehicles around with ease and assurance that they are doing it safely and with no risk of damage.

“My impression of this trailer is that it’s a fantastic trailer. Everything on it has the greatest ideas. The solar panel you have on it to charge the battery, and the winch to lower and raise the trailer; it is just an ideal trailer. To put it bluntly, it is a dream come true that we have it at the museum. We use the trailer to load the Indy cars. For example, the Coors Light Car is a completely restored race car; it’s got an engine, it runs and everything. Moving the car around on another trailer is very difficult because we have to use ramps. My Futura aluminum car trailer makes it a lot easier to load.. It makes my other trailers totally obsolete.” - Al Unser, Racing Legend

If anyone knows the importance of towing without the risk of damage, it would be Al Unser, his family, and the team at Unser Museum.

“I think car owners around the world that have dragsters, Indy cars, sprint cars, etc. this trailer will work for them much in the way it works for us at Unser Racing Museum in Albuquerque. I recommend it tremendously to anybody that has cars.” - Al Unser, Motorsports Legend
